Guest guest Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 marilyn, Like said about her friend, the pattern shows up over time (for me up to a week). It is possible that she (or you) haven't noticed it because things are under good control or there is enough lag time between flares that you don't notice it. pam RE: Tim Re:Antipsychotic Drugs/jra/rick Marilyn, mine is the travelling kind, as well. The doctor calls it " pallindromic rheumatism " --pallindromic for " pallindrome " (words that are spelled the same back and forward). To be asssociated with RA it is because, for me, the pains starts in the right ankle, goes to the right knee, the right hip, the right shoulder, elbow, wrist, fingers then to the left side in the same pattern. Occasionally it starts in my big toe and/or bunion. The ankles have always been the starting point and in fact, were the diagnosing points. Each point gets red and hot and hurts to touch--not pleasant!!!! I use hot baths with epsom salts for relief as well. pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
